Hughes expects Bojan decision soon

Peter Coates, the Stoke chairman, confirmed last week that Hughes has held positive talks with the 23-year-old, adding that the Premier League club were "quietly confident" of reaching an agreement.

Deportivo La Coruna and Olympiacos are also reportedly monitoring Bojan's availability, with Hughes - a former Barca player - poised to find out whether the Spain international is heading to the Britannia Stadium.
